But, as a gardener, I object to putting the Spading Moon after the Harvest Moon. Spading is done in the spring. Even pocket gardeners like me do a good deal of spading (in my case, troweling) every spring. After the Harvest, we might do a Mulching Moon . Actually, I seem to remember that a Hunter's Moon comes along about then. -alga ---
